"From a Buddhist point of view, the actual experience of death is very important. Although how or where we will be reborn is generally dependent on karmic forces, our state of mind at the time of death can influence the quality of our next rebirth. So at the moment of death, in spite of the great v...

This man from your video is very brave )). That is good. But he is very young. It is a powerful challenge to say "i love you means go". It is a challenge to attachment and makes reference to "go beyond, go way beyond, etc" Thank you, in that way. H H Dalai Lama said as well on that youtube, friends...

Appears to be so. Each thought has no form shape or size yet it reflects appearance. Wonderful! Then craving-grasping becomes bit more clear when these appearances are perceived as real ( seen as being there apart of thoughts on their own) and get by our own habitual karmic baggage, their character...

There are no substantial apprehensions which can be collected and taken in a bag by the idea of self. That is why there is need for Dharma in daily life, I guess. H H Dalai Lama was asked whether or not Bodhichitta was "accomplished", he answered death would reveal it. Bodhichitta beyond birth and d...

Perhaps a near death experience is a key for stronger whish to be free. The love then experienced - bliss as by the dissolving nasty independent self idea causing suffering. This selfless Love as the living guiding Masters, pointing to own Love. Love is not passion, but COMpassion, which is no subje...

Not easy without print. Often when you buy them, you can support/benefit a monastery or project. Some kinds: https://tnp.org/tibetan-prayer-flags-made-blessed-nuns/ Perhaps you can find some info here http://www.instructables.com/id/Tibetian-Prayer-Flags/ and https://classroom.synonym.com/how-to-mak...

Then if there would be no communication even dualistic, then no Compassion can acting to liberate. No guidance then. While no need for that to fall into clouding confusion. At the moment the sun is impartially shining, on what is through own karmic view the boring neighbours house and those stranger...

see diamond sutra, chpt 6 http://diamond-sutra.com/read-the-diamond-sutra-here/diamond-sutra-chapter-6/ Guru Rinpoche: stop labeling. but let's just raise our eyebrows a minute, back straight, shoulders back, heart open We must both be able to engage in dualistc thinking, to communicate with other ...

Emotional frustrations are 'artists', forming a scenario like a tv drama soap, seeing faults with others, which allows no inner peace, no harmony, no patience. Listening without pointing a finger, they perhaps can do? Remain aware of own mind, to not run in destructive dialogues, would help. Because...

For spontaneous all inclusive compassion as naturally aspect. But how when "there are so many other mind to purify first", there comes no end on these! No way! ...so here we are comparing things. I compare the absolute non differentiating buddhahood with the " this versus that" approach of buddhism...

It’s not easy making sure the two wings are the same size. Two Wings of the Bird of Bodhichitta: Wisdom-Compassion. Purify own mind while compassion for all beings. For spontaneous all inclusive compassion as naturally aspect. But how when "there are so many other mind to purify first", there comes...

I am currently taking 2mg nicotine gums to kick my smoking habit which has lasted for about 2 years, I know Nicotine itself is considered an 'Intoxicating substance' but just curious. :namaste: It is the intention behind an action which determines karma, not? I wish you lots of courage to be free f...

But sure, because of emptiness there is anything and everything its just the fundemental and stable nature of all things, so sure hate is included in that. But true, if a humam sees the empty nature (dependent origination) of hate it will transform without renunciation into pristine cognitions such...

I guess that has to be answered by every individual practitioner. It is so very much. Only, with the experience of being there an individual practitioner practising a practice, then it turns or falls in struggling, desillusion..., suffering. There are the Paramitas as example. I have no idea how th...

Thanks, dzogchungpa, for posting these Anam Thubten videos. He's my root teacher, so watching these is a bit like coming home for me. Keep 'em comin'! Will do. Blessings for sure, thank you to keep sharing these bells. I learned from him to use the breath in correct way, which was somehow a struggl...

Because there is emptiness there is happiness, suffering, the humanmind, everything and anything.... ....because if there was not emptiness (dependent origination and its implications) there would be nothing. Like metaphor space then perhaps; without space we and all our experiences, emotions, feel...

Yes, it must be like that. But the human mind, as well, perhaps, as the minds of countless other types of beings tbroughout the countless universes of infinite time, can actually imagine and create a subjective experience in sharp contrast to emptiness. While that experience is itself empty, it can ...
